Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for an increased disability rating in excess of 10 percent for right forearm limitation of flexion and impairment of supination or pronation due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The January 2024 VA examination was found to be inadequate as it did not properly address the Veteran's reported flare-ups, did not consider her lay statements, and did not discount the ameliorative effects of medication.
